Say something nice
Guys, looking at having nine teams bowl eligible is something we should all be proud of. For so many of us having to play paydays on the road, that’s a tremendous accomplishment.

As I was considering that I am actually a little proud of C-USA for that feat, I thought I wonder what I could say nice about the other conference schools if I tried. Below are my “be kind” statements. Can you add a statement for the schools other than your own?

Charlotte: Cool city. And probably my fav C-USA mascot. Reminds me of Miner 2049er game from my childhood.
Florida Atlantic: What a great job in coaching hire and subsequent season. Now put more money in his pocket to keep him.
Florida International: 55,000 students can’t be wrong. It must be hard to go to class while living there, too.
La Tech: Probably hates USM more than any other fan base. I can appreciate that. Many games between the two and most hard fought slobber knockers.
Marshall: Wish the two states were closer. The conference mate I respect the most.
Middle Tennessee: Very consistent. Seems every sport is competitive, which is not always the case for an athletic department.
North Texas: Plenty of money and an aggressive athletic department. Plus I can see it from a tee box on my brother-in-law's golf course when I'm in town.
Old Dominion: I have never been to this campus, but have always pulled for ODU when I've seen them on TV - even before they were C-USA. Bonus: that picture of the mascot humping the girl from behind was extremely poor taste but was extremely funny. After the past two weeks, who knows, maybe it was a politician in the mascot suit that day.
Rice: Acceptance rate of what, 14%? Only the elite students are welcome. Plus the baseball team is fun to compete with!
Southern Miss:
Western Kentucky: coolest football helmet in college ball.
UAB: Lazarus. Not many universities could have accomplished the return from the dead. Most fan bases could not have made the return possible. Props due for the fight for football.
UTEP: Played one of the most remembered national championships in college basketball history. Fantastic track program with many Olympians. Side note: When the TV pans the football crowds, seems to be a lot of hot Hispanic women seems almost the norm. That has to count for something, right?
UTSA: So many necessary ingredients for consistent, winning football are in place. Young program but with a very high ceiling.

The episode involving Big Blue and the unnamed girl was completely consensual and she was of age.

RE: Say something nice
UNT: You cant write a better story for a rivalry. A very young UTSA goes to Denton and knocks out UNT and their chances of playing in CUSA championship game in 2012, UNT drives 90+ yards in waning seconds to beat UTSA in 2017. Endless player trash talking, fans are even worse. Happy to have a true rival that happened organically. Love what UNT is doing to in Denton and how they are putting pressure on the rest of the conference.

La Tech: We had no identity back in 2010 as WAC conference mates with Tech. We came into CUSA at the same time and those early games were some of the chipper games I have ever watched. La Tech will always be a rival in my book. They always seem like they are a favorite every year.

Southern Miss: One of the classics in regards to CUSA. Southern Miss is the program I hope UTSA can be in many, many years. Tons of respect.

UAB: I hate the Evil Empire and what they did was the icing on the cake. So proud of what this team accomplished this year. When not playing the Runners, I root for UAB

Rice: Academics aside you have to hand it to Rice for being able to recruit at such a high level. They always have NFL caliber players. Seeing Wayne Graham at UTSA was a highlight for me.

UTEP: I imagine it's hard to recruit in deep West Texas but UTEP still has a lot to be proud of despite having a really awful year. This team will bounce back before we know it. Aaron Jones was the best player I have seen play in CUSA. He murdered us in that 5 OT game. Crazy that between Miners and Runners, no home team has won

Charlotte: I remember when UTSA came to CUSA, people said we would not win a game. We did and so did Charlotte. Out of all the team I think I identify with 49era fan the most. Can't wait until it is us for you in the CUSA champ game!!!

FAU: I'm so impressed with this team this year. I don't think there is a hotter team in college football. I hope Lane sticks around and FAU continues to be a threat to win it all

FIU: A commuter school like UTSA. Who cares right? I hope the bowl eligible season grabs the respect of the alumni base as it should. Congrats FIU for amazing season

MT: Another team that is always good in all sports. Proud to be in the Same conference. Stockstill will have his year in 2018

WKU: We are so lucky that CUSA was able to pluck away WKU. They just make the conference better, period.

Marshall: The team that always scares me. You know they are always in the hunt. They seem to never have down seasons. Extremely nice fan base in person.

ODU: In my opinion, the best uniforms in college football. Lots of respect for ODU and super pumped they are now in CUSA.

RE: Say something nice
Ok, nice idea for a thread, so will give it a whirl....

Charlotte: I believe this rivalry will grow once they fire Rose. LOVED how they pass out Jimmy Johns subs walking ut of football game.
FAU: Football is the real deal and has great chance to break the FxU stereotype. I wish them luck.
Rice: Spin Room posters from Rice are my favorites
UTEP: Hosted UTEPSal for some beer and pizza few years back prior to UTEP/ODU game. One man ambassador.
Marshall and USM: For me, wins vs these two in football were the moments when I felt ODU belonged in 1-A. Set the standard.
La Tech: Similar to USM, do not seem to like us much. Solid and protective of their programs. Wish all CUSA schools shared this passion. Embrace the hate!
MTSU: Our kryptonite. Have ruined many seasons in multiple sports for us. Will only make that breakthrough win more satisfying, whenever it comes. Kermit Davis fan.
UTSA: Started football at same time as us, and had similar success. In Texas, many fish in the pool, that feat cannot be easy.
WKU: See comments about Rice. Some really smart folks that view world similarly to me.
North Texas: Appear to really be improving in football, a rising tide lifts all boats.
FIU: Happy their football also appears on the rise. The growth of the Florida twins is critical for the this version of CUSA to be successful. The golden dazzlers deserve their due of respect.

WKU has the best mascot.
MTSU was a good addition to the conference.
F_U finally made some good hiring decisions.

RE: Say something nice
Here is my attempt...

East
Marshall- Love the movie "We Are Marshall"
FAU- Got the coach they needed to become a winner
FIU- Made a good coaching hire and it is paying off
WKU- Bowling again in Bowling Green. Glad you moved over from the Sun Belt
MT- Good rival from our Sun Belt days. Still enjoy our games, especially basketball.
Charlotte- Your best days are ahead of you
ODU- You have an optimistic young fan base

West
Rice- Despite a down season, I have so much respect for what you do. I have yet to miss a North Texas game at Rice since we joined C-USA, and I'll be there on Saturday.
LA Tech- Historically solid program, with the most iconic uniforms in the G5. Never change them.
Southern Miss- Another historically solid program. So glad we share the same division.
UTEP- The Sun Bowl is an amazing stadium. I wish we could add the Sun Bowl to our bowl ties.
UAB- Amazing what you have overcome since getting executed by Bama.
UTSA- I enjoy disliking your program. That is a complement. In my opinion, and after watching another installment of "the 100 Miles of Hate", I think we have the best rivalry in C-USA.

Something nice.

I hate you all equally but I don’t hate you all as much as WVU or UCF.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Since we play them this week: MTSU is currently an envy of many ODU fans including myself. They are where we are striving to be in football and basketball.

Close enough. You guys started in 2009, so 2 years ahead of us, just as we're 2 years ahead of Charlotte.

You had an off year because your really good QB got hurt. Among other things, I assume. But I think this 'down' year for you feels like an anomaly. I say down in quotes because you will probably still go bowling.
